The epilogue has a better quality than the movies but if you have enough CPU power for advanced resize methods the difference is also trivial. But as already stated by Chris you decide.

Oh and for everyone interested, I just reencoded the oversized 720p version of part 5 with a degrain/denoise filter and the new video is less than 5Gb in size with a in my opinion slightly better video quality. I don’t know if the noise was intented by Ufotable as a stylistic device but for me thats a great Win – Win method to save space.

when you guys talk about cpu usage is there like an option where you can choose to use more or less cpu to load a video? So.. are you guys talking about the rendering option where you can optimize it for best or just use default or something? o_o

Don’t know if its just me but the downloading of kara no kyoukai 1080p has been excruciating slow for me i.e. <1kBps/sec. Anyone facing this problem as well?
Is it because of the immense file size + leechers and the somewhat small pool of seeders?

Don't get me wrong, not trying to bitch here or anything, just trying to clarify my doubts

Anyway, thank you for all the hard work thus far! Looking forward to your future releases as well

Because the gg-TakaJun subs are technically better (timing, etc.) and are the ones I watched the movies with, so I know that they work properly. The Retail subs only got a quick check since I didn’t want to watch every movie twice. They should work fine too, but it’s possible that they have some minor errors.

No there is not an option to use the cpu more or less. We have talked about the resizing of videos.
In this case from 720p up to 1080p. And for this you can choose between several methods for the resizing. It depends on the renderer and decoder you use which one are available. Some methods are really simple and don’t stress the cpu much but they often produce a low quality picture. Then there are methods which uses complex math algorithms to produce the best possible picture and therefore they have a high CPU usage. You can find some comparison pictures here:

There must be a compromise with filtering though. Just a tad of AA would have helped a ton with the edges and wouldn’t cause problems like extra lines appearing (lol, I’ve never seen that before but that’s just bad). Granted, this source is pretty terrible to begin with.

i like it unfiltered myself…rather not deal with mistakes. i woulda preferred something done to ep 5 to reduce that sick file size even if it sacrificed a little quality tho. but beggers can’t be choosers

I can’t seem to get the 1080p version of Movie 7 (DLed from FS) to run properly. It’s fine for the first ~20mins but the video then starts to enter a mix of slowmotion and getting stuck every few frames, while the audio is going on smoothly. I’ve encountered this on 5 different media players, tried remuxing it already – no change.

could someone rip the retail subs for 1-7/epilogue and upload them somewhere please? i’m looking to mux them in with a 12gb raw i have and i’d like to avoid wasting 25gigs of bandwidth just to rip some subs.

This release seems to be incompatible with ffdshow, at least on 64 bit systems. Crashes my Win7 Media Center every time I start playback. Anyone have an idea as to why this is happening? All other CoalGirl releases play just fine.

Since you mentioned that you were able to ” re – encoded the over sized 720p version of part 5 with a degrain/denoise filter and the new video is less than 5Gb in size ” Would you please mind uploading it via torrent @ MU

Can someone (ChrisK if around) confirm one of the DDLs? For the 1080 variant, I’ve been trying to DL part 2 of the Epilogue. But there’s an error; tried probably 4 times today.

The error is basically your standard “Cannot display the webpage” message. I’ve tried Opera, Chrome, and even IE9 with no avail. The file seems to exist so that’s fine. And I tried DLing another KnK file (anything but the part 2 of Epilogue), and those work fine. Just THIS.

Would sincerely appreicate someone look into this… I’ve (sucessfully) DLed part 1 and would hate to think that was in vain, considering the bandwidth limits where I live…

Tried again, and once more at a mate’s place (so a different IP). And it’s still a no go for both cases… So got another mate to try some other file from the KnK DDL folder by CG (specifically the part 1 of the file, again). And that worked fine.

I wouldn’t think Fileserve would be banning specific countries but hmm. And not being too revealing, I reside in the Oceania region (so that’s Australia or New Zealand for you). Not sure what to make of this issue as a result.

I was just wondering what do you guys think is the best viewing order for these movies? Should I watch it as stated above in a chronological order or the way the movies came out? I imagine the original novel is written the same way as the movies came out?
